Really...
Im pretty sure that things is lighting up the whole basement. 3 of those and anyone not wearing a welding mask and some SPF 300 sunscreen would be in for some major burns

Here's a couple more links. one shows lumen output and HOLY CRAP! 6000 kelvin @ 20000 lumens! I'm no electrician but I believe that is alos @ 9.5amps which would be probably be pretty pricey to run. That being said the fixture being shown is for commercial use. http://www.lifi.com/pdfs/ProductBull...A-40Series.pdf

that 9.5 Amps is at 28V DC. the wattage, is only 266 Watts. And it's Watt's that the elec company charges us for, not amps. At 120v thats only 2.2 amps draw, or the equivelant as 1 250W electronic MH

I understand its watts we get charged for but low amperage is better right? eg... 2 x 250watt halides @ 1.5amps ea is better(less power consumption) than 2 x 250watt halides @ 3 amps each. Although I didn't realize that would only be 2.2amps @ 120v. Thats SWEET!

don't forget there is no water in that tank so you get a lot of reflected light you normaly wouldn't. I would say two of thes lights would be perfect for that tank. unless you move it up higher, but then you get more light spill in the room, which I personaly hate but some don't mind.
